Should I trim a tomato plant?
I planted a tomato plant in a pot. .it has grown really big and bushy .it has a lot of small tomato and blooms on it .my brother thinks I should trim the plant because the leaves are hiding the sun. .he said would take a long time for tomato to ripen. .would it hurt the plant if I did ? I have never done it before. .Thanks. .

Leave the plant alone. Nature knows what to do. Where I live, I have to shade the entire plant because it is scorching hot and the fruit will get a sunburn. If you want to appease your brother, do it on a couple of blooms and see what happens.
The only thing you need to remove are the Suckers that are in the crotch of the tomato limbs.
No don’t trim add some miracle grow and just water every day
you can freeze tomatoes whole, and add to soups as needed.
